Book excerpt: The Filipino diet is heavily rice based, and rice is eaten with every meal, including dessert. Rice is often steamed and leftovers are normally fried with garlic the next morning and eaten along with fried fish or fried sausages. In a country made up of more than 7,000 islands, seafood is widely available. Most commonly eaten seafood are tilapia, milkfish, shrimps, blue crabs and squid. Pork and chicken are the most popular and affordable meat. Locally grown vegetables such as water spinach, bitter melon, eggplant, tomato, sweet potato and okra are simply sauteed or stewed with tiny pieces of meat. The Philippines is a tropical country with two main seasons-dry and rainy. Filipinos often marinate or cook the food with salt and vinegar as a preservative. Many dishes are cooked or served with Bagoong (fish/shrimp paste or thick sauce) and Patis (thin fish sauce). Vinegar, soy sauce and/or Filipino lime (kalamansi) with minced garlic are often used as a dipping sauce.
